      Delgado Gaspar, Ismael; Sussman, Roberto A.; McNutt, David Duncan; Coley, Alan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-04)
      In two recently published articles, Barrow and Paliathanasis (2018, 2019) [1, 2] claim to have found exact solutions of Einstein’s field equations belonging to the class of non-trivial (i.e., spatially inhomogeneous) ...
